As you stated, it sure isn't home and sure isn't luxurious, but beats the hell out of past alternatives. That's for sure!
I read the accompanying link and had to include this here:
In 2008, a member of the Special Forces wrote a note on the door of a MRAP. The note reads "This truck saved my life as well as 5 others on 02 Apr 08 at 2300 in Basrah, IZ."
That wraps it up nicely in a nutshell!
If you run out of reading material, I will issue a library card from my private collection. Just yesterday received a few thousand pages (two books) from my friend, Hugh Ames, 82nd Airborne. Nice presents indeed. He wanted to thank me for working on his website.
All the Way to Berlin - James Megellas (82nd Airborne's most decorated officer)
and
All American - All the Way - Phil Nordyke
I also bought Builders and Fighters - US Army Engineers in World War II - general editor, Barry W Fowle
So...
